lol ! no respect no respect! this last $1400 bill has made me a changed man I tell you!!
my motor ( 3.8 ltre 3800 series II ) is supposed to be 215 - 225 hp and 250 tq at the flywheel with the cold air intake and headers. what did your 1.2 litre put out?
To be frank, I have no idea. A lot for a little engine, but we countered for the lack of torque (the real villan..) by spinning it up to 10K rpm.It was a class rule, and there was a set engine build that worked and all in the class used. Therefore it was well developed before I came along and was well proven. I just used it as well and didnt ask questions (yeah I was younger then....)The recipe was a nissan A12 engine block and crank (steel), A14 cylinder head, Hepolite pistons, forged rods (forgotten the brand), cam and solid lifters, 2 webbers, exhaust x size tubing exactly this length..etc etc etc .. thing zinged like a two stroke....Never balanced the first engine..... just built it, modded it and ran it....for years... freshened each season... so NO IDEA how smooth it could have been had it been balanced....Still got it laying in bits around the place.... poor lil thing.....
Ds Are ya going to sleeve the pinion bearing bore? That could have saved you in the first place. That pinion looks like it wanted to move away form the ring gear. A steel sleeve would help that from happening. IMO. Mindeola and Mega Sand both use a brass bar that rubs on the back side of the ring gear just opposite of the pinion. Just like the old Chevy spicier rear ends.
Artie on edge 9025 smites!! what have you been up to?
Ok got some info on the 091, the plate that artie was talking about they do have but the owner of weddle says that some swear by it and others don't think it makes a difference. he says he just leaves that one up to the consumers and builders but didn't say it was a needed part. just so everyone knows it's $80 and 1/4" thick, you will have to space you tranny mounts 1/4" farther apart but doesn't affect flywheel, clutch or starter posistioning. the sleeve fast corvairs talked about is for when the bearing housing has lost it's tolerance and needs to be sleeved, mine has not in this case and last but not least the brass pin is only on the big trannys that you meantioned, there is not enough material in the side case of the 091 to support that pin. I was told that the pin rides .002 off the ring gear but I didn't think to ask what happens if you hit it. does the pin eject so you know it's been hit or does it just simply file it off until the next time and how would you know unless you tear down every season. In my case this doesn't apply but I am still curious? I still wonder how many more little secerets there are on the 091's that aren't offered but they have the parts for? it's one of those cases where you have to know the right question to ask!
It is apparently ring gear flange deflection thenthat causes R&P issues in the mendis? Apparently the case is strong enough if the pin works to stabilize the ring gear. Why don't they just make a better diff or spool? Do the pins wear and need regular and/or adjustment often? I don't know these things and need educated.
